Press release from the Town of New Canaan:

Aug. 7, 2020

Due to the COVID pandemic, the Town of New Canaan has changed the process for purchasing Transfer Station Annual Permits to an online process.

The permit purchase application can now be completed online any time of the day at the Town website www.newcanaan.info. From the top of the homepage, one should click on Departments, then click on Transfer Station under Public Works, and follow the instructions to apply online, provide the information requested and pay for the permit.

After completing the application and payment, the annual permit will be mailed to the applicant (maximum two per household).

There are several changes from the previous method of permit purchase as well as a new fee schedule, as follows:

• All permits that expired June 30, 2020 will continue to be honored through August 31, 2020.

• The new permits will be effective through June 30, 2021.

• Effective July 1, 2020 the permit fee is:

• $75.00 if resident is not serviced by a private hauler.

• $45.00 if resident is serviced by a private hauler.

(Proof of hauler service is required by providing a copy of the most recent trash hauler invoice.)

• Note: the annual fee is not prorated depending upon the time of year purchased.

• Applicants can register up to two vehicles per household.

(Proof of registration is required with the online application.)

• If you live in New Canaan but have a leased car or car registered outside of New Canaan, you must prove residency (current utility bill or other appropriate proof such as residence lease or tax bill.)

• If you own property in New Canaan but do not reside here you must prove ownership (a copy of your New Canaan property tax bill or other appropriate proof).

• Annual permit applications are no longer available through the old process of completing a downloaded application. If you do not have access to a computer, please call 203-594-3701.
